TL;DR Summary

The US will lift COVID-19 border restrictions known as Title 42 on Thursday night, leading to a surge in migrants crossing the US-Mexico border and straining local communities. The number of people caught crossing illegally has climbed in recent weeks, with daily apprehensions surpassing 10,000 on Monday and Tuesday. Against the backdrop of chaotic scenes, President Joe Biden's administration is surging personnel and funds to the border while implementing a new regulation that will deny asylum to most migrants who cross illegally. Republicans fault Biden for scrapping the restrictive policies of former President Donald Trump.
